"In a sea of other buzzy cafes, Baby’s is a colorful, cozy, bibingka-filled standout. The long-awaited Filipino shop and market started as a pop-up, but now serves its fresh juices, calamansi donuts and ube handpies, and crispy jowa and lumpia from its permanent home in Brewerytown. Order each of those, plus their once-in-a-lifetime pandan cookies, and get comfortable at the communal table upstairs. The coffee program is no slouch either (and beans are sourced from Càphê Roasters), so crash on one of the velvet loveseats with a strawberry matcha latte and enjoy some of the best modern Filipino in town." - candis mclean, alison kessler
